Dairy Queen is celebrating its 85th birthday with a sweet treat for its fans: 85-cent Blizzards! From September 8th through 21st, 2025, DQ Rewards members can snag a small Blizzard for just 85 cents. This nostalgic price harkens back to both DQ’s founding in 1940 and the Blizzard’s debut in 1985.
The deal coincides perfectly with the launch of Dairy Queen’s Fall Treat Collection, featuring returning favorites like the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and new additions like the Caramel Toffee Cookie Blizzard and Maple Cookie Shake. It’s a great chance to try something new or stick with a classic, all at a throwback price.
There’s a small catch: the deal requires a minimum $1 purchase and is limited to one redemption per DQ Rewards member during the two-week promotion. Customers must have a favorite store selected in the DQ mobile app and can redeem the offer via mobile order or by scanning a code at the store or drive-thru.
The Blizzard, introduced in 1985, quickly became a fan favorite, selling over 175 million in its first year. With small Blizzards typically costing $3 or more today, this 85-cent deal is a delicious blast from the past.
